The Virsliga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Tukums and Metta / LU are placed 10th and 9th respectively.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Metta / LU play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Metta / LU when playing on grass are 2 wins, 4 draws and 16 defeats from 22 matches. They have scored 18 goals and conceded 46 times in these games.

Tukums form and stats

Tukums have less points than they have played home games in the Virsliga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. It's trouble wherever Tukums are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Tukums, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

D. Hvoinickis (own goal) was the last player to score a league goal for Tukums and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Tukums haven't scored in 332 minutes.

Tukums lost their last game at Valmiera / BSS (placed 8th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against FC Daugavpils / Progress that was lost 0-6.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tukums as they are travelling to their away game against Spartaks Jūrmala in the Virsliga. That match is four days after this one.

Tukums has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 8 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Metta / LU form and stats

It's not happening yet for Metta / LU on their Virsliga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Metta have lost on their last two travels.

Metta / LU play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to FC Daugavpils / Progress (placed 3rd). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Jelgava.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Metta, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Metta / LU have the goal stats of 2-7 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Tukums one win, three draws and Metta / LU six victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
